This technology, which was developed by Google, is a communications and marketing tool that can be used to post information in the form of multimedia content. Digital signage is widely used in restaurant chains, for example. Each business unit displays the same information on screens; the information is centralized at a single entity.<\/p>\n<p>At AGF Group, digital signage will be used for internal communication purposes at our various divisions. The project will be headed by the communications team at the Longueuil head office, with support from each business unit that is interested in adopting it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What is Chromebox?<\/h3>\n<p>Chromebox is a small computer that broadcasts a content feed on one or more screens. It is similar to Apple TV. The content is created using one of the Google tools (Slide, Sheet, Doc) and then integrated into a broadcast calendar, using the Chrome Builder app, which serves to identify the timeslots for your broadcasts, as well as offering many other presentation features.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What is it used for?<\/h3>\n<p>Digital display can be used to post general information about major projects AGF is working on, our values and the services we provide. It will also be a good way to promote our Foundation. And since we will be installing this technology in as many divisions as possible, every location will be free to add local information in its presentation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Pilot project in Ottawa<\/h3>\n<p>Christan Witt and his team in Ottawa were the first to volunteer for this project. They&rsquo;ve installed the screen in the reception area of their offices, and it seems the whole team likes it!<br \/>\n&ldquo;<em>Digital display is very handy, plus it adds a contemporary touch to the office. People who come to the office are very interested by the presentation. It defines who we are and what we do. I think it will have a strong impact on feelings of belonging and pride in AGF Group<\/em>,&rdquo; says Christian Witt, general manager of AGF Steel Inc.&rsquo;s Ottawa division.<\/p>\n<h3>Talk about it!<\/h3>\n<p>If you&rsquo;re interested in this project and would you like to use it in your division, speak with your general manager.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Ligne_bleue_separation_version_e-2027.jpg\" style=\"height:67px; width:400px\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<h3>La se&ntilde;alizaci&oacute;n digital llega a Grupo AGF<\/h3>\n<p>Los departamentos de comunicaciones y de inform&aacute;tica trabajan en conjunto desde hace varios meses en un nuevo proyecto: la se&ntilde;alizaci&oacute;n digital (Digital Signage), tecnolog&iacute;a desarrollada por Google, la cual es una herramienta de comunicaci&oacute;n y de mercadotecnia que permite difundir informaci&oacute;n en forma de contenido multimedia. Por ejemplo, la se&ntilde;alizaci&oacute;n digital es muy utilizada en las cadenas de restauraci&oacute;n. Cada unidad de negocios presenta la misma informaci&oacute;n en las pantallas y est&aacute; centralizada en una sola entidad.<br \/>\nEn Grupo AGF, la se&ntilde;alizaci&oacute;n digital ser&aacute; empleada para la comunicaci&oacute;n interna en nuestras diferentes divisiones. El proyecto ser&aacute; dirigido por el equipo de comunicaci&oacute;n de la sede social en Longueuil con el apoyo de cada una de las unidades de negocios que desee integrarse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>&iquest;Qu&eacute; es Chromebox ?<\/h3>\n<p>Chromebox es una peque&ntilde;a computadora que permite la difusi&oacute;n de contenido en flujo continuo en una o varias pantallas. De cierta manera es como un Apple TV. El contenido se crea previamente con una de las herramientas de Google (Slideshare, Sheets, Docs&hellip;) y enseguida es integrado a un calendario de difusi&oacute;n gracias a Chrome App Builder; esta aplicaci&oacute;n permite determinar una franja horaria para las difusiones y tambi&eacute;n ofrece otras funcionalidades de presentaci&oacute;n.<\/p>\n<h3>&iquest;Para qu&eacute; sirve exactamente ?<\/h3>\n<p>La se&ntilde;alizaci&oacute;n digital permitir&aacute; transmitir la informaci&oacute;n general como: los proyectos principales en curso en AGF, nuestros valores y los servicios que ofrecemos. Adem&aacute;s, ser&aacute; un buen medio para destacar a la Fundaci&oacute;n Grupo AGF. Finalmente, como deseamos integrar esta tecnolog&iacute;a en el mayor n&uacute;mero de divisiones posible, cada ubicaci&oacute;n tendr&aacute; la libertad de transmitir informaci&oacute;n local en su propia presentaci&oacute;n.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Proyecto piloto en Ottawa<\/h3>\n<p>Christan Witt y su equipo en Ottawa fueron los primeros voluntarios para el proyecto. Instalaron la pantalla en la recepci&oacute;n de las oficinas &iexcl;y parece que todo el equipo lo aprecia!<br \/>\n&ldquo;La se&ntilde;alizaci&oacute;n digital es muy pr&aacute;ctica; le da a las oficinas un toque m&aacute;s moderno. La gente que entra a las oficinas se muestra muy interesada por la presentaci&oacute;n. Define bien qui&eacute;nes somos y lo que hacemos. Creo que esta herramienta tendr&aacute; un fuerte impacto en el sentimiento de pertenencia y de orgullo respecto al Grupo AGF.&rdquo;, explica Christian Witt, Director General, Acier AGF Inc., divisi&oacute;n Ottawa.<\/p>\n<h3>&iexcl;Sugi&eacute;ralo!<\/h3>\n<p>&iquest;Le interesa el proyecto y le gustar&iacute;a que su divisi&oacute;n le sacara provecho?
